â€œThe easiest, least-expensive way to reduce your risk for cancer is just by eating a healthy diet,â€ says Rachael Stolzenberg-Solomon, PhD, MPH, RD, a researcher at the National Cancer Institute. (webmd.com)
When it comes to a diet rich in cancer-fighting substances, most experts agree that it should consist of a predominantly plant-based diet.

â€œIf you have two-thirds of plant food on your plate, that seems to be enough to avoid excessive amounts of food high in saturated fat,â€ says Karen Collins, RD, nutritional advisor for the American Institute for Cancer Research. (all-natural-cancer-cures.com)

Recipe of the Month…
Broccoli Salad
Servings: 6

DIRECTIONS:
1.Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside. If using Canadian Bacon (the healthier choice) add a little oil when cooking, as it doesn\’t have the fat.
